During COVID, Real Estate has remained a constant - people will always need a place to lay their head/calculator/laptop computer. During the spring of COVID, many states saw a decrease in house sales, but speaking for Southwest Florida we have seen such a large increase since then that our Year Over Year sales and leasing is actually set to be higher than 2019.

Asking investors - what type of info do you tend to look for when seeking a new area? Are there specific metrics you rate locations by? And do you only deal in specifically certain types of residential OR commercial rentals/Apartments/shopping centers (A, B, C - or even those with certain stores or anchors)?

@Nicole (Dunlap) Pendergrass AWESOME work! Love your attitude and so appreciate you saying there are no failures just lessons. You only lose if you quit. AMEN!

I just purchased my current home back in May 2020 and am using it as the live-in Landlord. It’s currently cash flowing about $1,200 and I’m hoping to refi soon to lock in good rates. I’m planning to live here a bit longer and then potentially do the same thing again, then just rent current home.

I'm single, am a licensed realtor (3 years), Property Manager (3 years), and investor (10+ years) - what types of SFH or MF dwelling would you recommend? What are some of the pros and cons, or even warnings you've experienced? Should I be looking at straight cash flow, at hold, at BRRR?

@Bob Lachance thanks Bob I appreciate it. Do you have any VA sources you've utilized in the past with success?

Hi all. I’m a property manager by day (so wish I could type out a cool superhero gig), and I rent my house to two roommates who pay my mortgage plus additional Cashflow. I need your help please!

Do you have experience in Airbnb? Is that the best method of renting out a shed about 200sf, and what type of experience do you have with it? Do you typically have people book for ...x days, weeks? My home and shed (not fixed up yet, so also part of the question is how quickly I should prioritize the build out) are located near the EdisonFord Estates in gulf side Fort Myers SWFL.

How much time does it take to run a successful Airbnb? Again is that the best method for renting it out, or VRBO? What types of food/items/amenities do you provide - Netflix, Cable, microwave, stove, cups, silverware, toothpaste etc the list can be exhausting.

Are you overwhelmed at all with some of the mindless monotony that seems endless? How do you get past it - the cold calling, the data entry, the calculations, the mounds of data?

Your thoughts on possibly hiring someone overseas to provide me margin throughout the day? Even if they provide 10 hours per week, that’s an easy added two hours of time to each work day.

Have you tried it? Experiences? Would you recommend, if so walk me through how you did it. If you wouldn’t recommend why not?

@Alexis Schreier as a property manager, I’ll tell you I’m only the signer on one of our fortyish accounts. It DOES speed many things up and can help the LL if you need to wire funds or for many other accessibilities... but if it’s not your idea, I wouldn’t recommend it.

@Jeff Cody thanks Jeff, looking forward to it

@Stetson Miller thank you!

Hey all, I’m new to this app so bare with me.

I’m a Property Manager (3+ years experience), an investor (10+ years), and a Landlord (1 year) living in Fort Myers, FL. I currently own my home and have two tenants living in it. The first covers my mortgage and the second provides approx $400 cash flow - so I’m living free+ and building equity.

What/How would you recommend finding investors for another multi tenant residential location? My initial thought is look for a duplex to invest into. Would this be wise, or better to stick with single family homes?

Thanks for your help,

-Matt
